  • Prince Harry and Meghan have been offered accommodation at a royal residence during their upcoming visit to the UK with their children.
  • The couple has not yet responded to the invitation for the stay.
  • Security arrangements for the visit remain unclear, with Buckingham Palace stating it is a private family matter.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have received an offer to stay at a royal residence during their visit to the United Kingdom next month with their children, Archie and Lilibet. This trip marks the couple's first visit to the UK in four years.

It is understood that the family has been offered accommodation on a royal estate, though they have not yet formally accepted or declined the invitation. On previous occasions, Prince Harry has opted against staying at Buckingham Palace due to security concerns associated with such a high-profile and visible location.

Prince Harry is scheduled to participate in several events related to the Invictus Games, which will be hosted in Birmingham next July. The last time the King saw his grandchildren was during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. A meeting between Prince Harry and his father at Clarence House in September last year was their first face-to-face encounter since February 2024.

Details regarding the security arrangements for the family's visit are still uncertain. Buckingham Palace has indicated that no additional security provisions will be provided by the palace itself, with any such requirements falling under the purview of the Home Office. The Palace declined to comment on the potential for the King to meet his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, characterizing it as a private family matter.
